Tina P on land

March 5, 2015

9 am Monday we had an appointment with the boat yard to lift Tina P on the hard and work a couple of days to get her in shape. We where impressed by the professional staff, no fuss about lifting slings (marina office asked for drawings well in advance) and an extremely thorough (but gentle) pressure wash. We were very nervous about how the “Copper Coat” treatment worked but we could not find any barnacles except on the prop and between rudder and skeg and very little algaes. Good news as we plan to lift out no more than every two to three years. Tomorrow we hope to be in the water again, living on a boat on land is not very comfortable…

We tried everything to protect the prop from fouling. This time we are trying a “miracle” cure “Golden Ship”. Wish us luck 🙂

Coppercoat. Only maintenance 1h scrubbing with scotchbrite before launch.

Through hull cooling of fridge and freezer. SIgnificant reduction of power consumption compared to previous water cooled systems.
